Swollen Tonsils
With strep throat, your tonsils are not only red but also swollen and with a burning sensation. Strep throat makes the tonsils come up with an immune response, thereby pumping them up and leaving them chronically enlarged. In this situation, it is essential to find a means of immediately treating this disease to avoid further complications like a rheumatic fever which can pose hazardous problems to your health. That aside, swollen tonsils can become so severe that they block the airways. In some cases, swollen tonsils go down on their own, but you can also treat with antibiotics, warm fluids or humidifier.[3]
